green: Value of green component.
blue: Value of blue component.
alpha: A value between 0 and 127. 0 indicates completely opaque while 127 indicates completely transparent.

Examples

Example #1 Using imagecoloresolvealpha to get colors from an image


<?php
// Load an image
$im = imagecreatefromgif('phplogo.gif');

// Get closest colors from the image
$colors = array();
$colors[] = imagecolorresolvealpha($im, 255, 255, 255, 0);
$colors[] = imagecolorresolvealpha($im, 0, 0, 200, 127);

// Output
print_r($colors);

imagedestroy($im);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array
(
    [0] => 89
    [1] => 85
)
